Some of you may remember my other tv that I posted in my
obligatory "my setup" post. Anyway, yesterday after buying an RCA (720p) tv for $898 I found out that it didn't display enough colors when I hooked up the ps3 via HDMI. It was horrible, it separated any gradients into tiger stripes. So I did what every good walmart shopper does, I took it back to exchange it for the Vizio. The TV rep. told me about a 1080p Vizio that wasn't on the display floor, which was only $998. So I bought it.
Anyway, this is a picture of my OLD tv.
And my new, Vizio 42" 1080p LCD.
So I'm going to enjoy my night with GTAIV.

HELL YEAH!!
Nice :), that thing is massive.
Yeah, I'm gonna have my nose right up against the screen too.
we have that TV in our living room, though the new one with the silver speakers.
only difference is contrast ratio though. it's an amazing tv.
Nice TV and that is how you celebrate GTA IV right!!
How many HDMI inputs does it have?
Good choice going with the Vizio.
@ shipero: i think that model has two. i'm not sure though
I have the 32 inch Vizio with the silver speakers like Black Sheep. you simply cant touch the price. Especially since the picture is great too plus I have like 492034 inputs on that shit.
That's it...when I get my fake "stipend" from the government, I'm buying a 42in Vizio.
WHERE THE FUCK IS YOUR PS3??
NM thats what i get for not reading the first setup post...
Lots of people bash the Vizio brand, but they really do have a nice picture.
@Shipero 3 HDMIs,
@MrWilson, behind the tv.
I am so excited for tonight. I'll be playing GTAIV on my 7 foot projector screen in glorious HD.
Everyone shall be happy tonight. Everyone.
I won't be happy tonight...
Although Amazon just sent me an email telling me that they have shipped my game :).
<--- Jealous, bitter, pooor.
^I drive a 1991 Camaro, that's the only reason I can afford this kind of stuff.
@brainderailment
3? Damn, I was going to save up for a Bravia for my next TV but I might just get a Vizio now. Good picture and 3 HDMI ports for under $1000 is really good.
<--- Still jealous, still bitter, still drives and '89 Escort.
Really nice tv, especially for the price.
That's awesome. I've got a raging clue right now.
@Shipero, yeah I love Bravias, but I don't think they look twice the price better.
Oooohhhh, I've got a MASSIVE clue!
Nice! I'm still saving up for one.
Vizio's are really good for their price point. I picked one up at Coatco and got a pretty good deal for it. My only complaint is that the volume for voices isn't as loud as everything else. So it's hard to hear people talking on a mic if I am playing online. Other than that it's great.
@Scape, ditto, I had to adjust the EQ on the tv because voices were being smashed by bed music. I just turned the treble up and that helped.
Hmmm, I will be getting that $600 from the government soon....
Very nice man!!!
Welcome to the 42" club
May your gaming be more vibrant and fun :D
Grats ont he upgrade :) Looks fricken sweet!
Yeah, HDTVs don't normally hit 1080p until you get to 42" and that is the biggest that would fit in my tiny little apt. If you are buying your first HDTV and you can scrape by, you should buy a 42" for 1000 or more.
Very nice, I wish I had the cash to blow on HD flatscreen.
